A creamy, cheeky tuberose with its overdose of ylang-ylang.
Originally from Mexico, the tuberose is nowadays mainly cultivated in India where it is woven into bridal necklaces. Brought into Europe in the 16th century, its heady, narcotic scent earned it a sulphurous reputation, to the point where young women of the court were forbidden to stroll in gardens at dusk, as the power of these "narcotic flowers" could lure them into temptation. Without it, our Tubéreuse would surely not be so carnal, so lustful...

"Olibanum" is a Latin term for the precious thousand-year-old resin obtained from the frankincense tree.
An entrepreneur with an insatiable curiosity, Gérald Gilan is a versatile and passionate person. After opening several restaurants in Paris in 2000, he launched the Histoires de Parfums brand, which now has about 40 names and is available in 300 points of sale worldwide. While Histoires de Parfums tells stories and makes people dream, with Olibanum Gérald wanted to create fragrances without the storytelling aspect, returning to the simplicity of the raw materials. And it was around olibanum, his favorite raw material, that he structured this new way of thinking. The composition of each fragrance is deliberately simple: olibanum + 1 ingredient.
